1Down
« on: May 01, 2013, 11:41:50 am »
Had the first of 5 CK sessions this morning.  On my way to becoming a postie toastie!   ;D
3/25/13- dx 18x11x14 mm AN, hearing loss in right ear x 5+ years, 5 sessions of CK completed May 2013, now a "post toastie".  Follow up MRI 4/14/14 - 15x19x11 mm. Stable with some signs of necrosis.
 Yippee!

Postie Toastie, that's funny and I like your attitude!   I had 5 CK treatments and glad I went that route versus surgery.  Keep us updated and good luck!

Congrats! The hardest one is probably that first one just because of the natural fear of the unknown.  Keep us posted and continued well wishes.
